Jofti is a simple to use, high-performance object indexing and searching solution for Objects in a Caching layer or storage structure that supports the Map interface. The framework supports EHCache, JBossCache and OSCache and provides for transparent addition, removal and updating of objects in its index as well as simple to use query capabilties for searching. Features include type aware searching, configurable object property indexing, indexing/searching by interfaces as well as support for Dynamic Proxies, primitve attributes, Collections and Arrays.
Who needs Jofti?
If you want to be able to quickly search objects in your cache as if it was a datastore, leverage your cache data so you do not have to do expensive repeat fetching from remote systems or add flexible query capabilities to an existing cache. Even if you simply want to be able to find data in a cache or map without knowing the key, then Jofti is for you.
Jofti Supports
Jofti has been designed to allow developers freedom to use the caching solution they prefer as a plug-in or configure its Indexes as listeners for an existing Cache.
Currently supported are:
* IBM ObjectGrid
* Tangosol Coherence
* EHCache
* OSCache
* JBossCache
* Any Map structure
Features
Simple Querying
Jofti currently supports two standard query language formats:
* SQL
* EJB3 QL
The adoption of these standards for the query languages is to provide a low-learning curve for developers and enable easy development of complex queries using well understood idioms.
Ease of Integration
For Caches that support the listener model, Jofti can be added to any application by simply registering an existing Cache with Jofti's IndexManager.
The index is then kept up to date with the Cache no matter where it is used in the application. This means almost zero code change to add querying capabilities to an existing Cache instance.
Memory Management
For applications that have large cache sizes, or operate in a memory-sensitive environment, you can easily specify only a portion of the index data to be kept in memory, with the rest paged to and from disk on-demand.
Flexible licensing
The current release (version 1.1) is available under a dual license of GPL or a Commercial license for those that want to avoid the implications of the GPL license.
Also,
* Multi Cache support
* Transaction support
* Type aware searching
* Configurable property indexing
* Indexing/searching by interfaces
* Support for dynamic proxies
* Support for primitve attributes
* Support for collections and arrays
* String prefix searching
* Simple query language
